“Running media in a printer isn’t like buying gas‚” Greenquist continued. “These aren’t interchangeable parts. There are so many variables that can change the physical properties of the media.” The Performance Guarantee covers tested and qualified OEM printers and inks used with 3M media. Approved 3M media‚ overlaminates and screen print clears are guaranteed to be free of media-induced artifacts that can cause misprints and are guaranteed to adhere to recommended substrates.

To qualify for the 3M Performance Guarantee‚ graphics must be installed according to 3M recommendations. The Performance Guarantee covers the replacement cost of 3M materials only and does not warrant image fading, cracking‚ peeling or any other performance issues.

The duration of any given Performance Guarantee varies according to the material combinations and applications as detailed in 3M Product Bulletins and available on 3M’s website‚ www.3Mgraphics.com.
